They knew me from the dawn of time: if Hermes beats his rainbow wings, If Angus shakes his locks of light, or golden-haired Apollo sings, It matters not the name, the land; my joy in all the gods abides: Even in the cricket in the grass some dimness of me smiles and hides. ~ Æ ~ [George William Russell] (born 10 April 1867)

Oh Master of the Beautiful, Creating us from hour to hour, Give me this vision to the full To see in lightest things thy power! This vision give, no heaven afar, No throne, and yet I will rejoice, Knowing beneath my feet a star, Thy word in every wandering voice. ~ Æ ~

A young man who had been troubling society with impalpable doctrines of a new civilization which he called "the Kingdom of Heaven" had been put out of the way; and I can imagine that believer in materialpower murmuring as he went homeward, "it will all blow over now." Yes. The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet.

In many ways connection has been disastrous. We have confused information (of which there has been too much of) with ideas (of which there are too few). I found out much more about the world and myself by being unconnected. ~ Paul Theroux

You have to find out for yourself. Take the leap. Go as far as you can. Try staying out of touch. Become a stranger in a strange land. Acquire humility. Learn the language. Listen to what people are saying. ~ Paul Theroux

While Women weep as they do now, I'll fight.
While little children go hungry, as they do now, I'll fight.
While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, I'll fight.
While there is a drunkard left,
While there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,
While there remains one dark soul without the light of God,
I'll fight.
I'll fight to the very end! ~ William Booth

It's ironic, isn't it? After all my years of training to defeat your father, I go out like this, trying to save you, his son...Gohan, you're the only real friend that I've ever had. I wanna thank you...I still remember the first day I brought you here. You were small, helpless. You've changed so much since then. The harder things got. The more determined you became. The more dangers you faced, the stronger you grew as a warrior. I know I was hard on you, but it was for your own good. You're like the son I never had. I'm proud of you. ~ Piccolo (Dragon Ball: Evolution The Movie is to be released in theaters on this date)

No fighter that has ever won a victory did so using his fists alone. All battles are won before they are even fought. ~ Piccolo (Dragon Ball: Evolution The Movie is to be released in theaters on this date)

Well, soon you'll realize that the people on this planet aren't logical at all. Funny thing is, they've rubbed off on me. ~ Piccolo (Dragon Ball: Evolution The Movie is to be released in theaters on this date)

You know, I used to be like you. One day you'll learn...that the more you hurt others, the harder your life becomes. It's simple. Your desire to kill is killing you! It's a darn shame! You could've put this hand to good use! What a waste of technology! ~ Piccolo (Dragon Ball: Evolution The Movie is to be released in theaters on this date)

General principles are not the less true or important because, from their nature they elude immediate observation; they are like the air, which is not the less necessary because we neither see nor feel it, or like that secret influence which binds the world together and holds the planets in their orbits.

Mankind are an incorrigible race. Give them but bugbears and idols — it is all that they ask; the distinctions of right and wrong, of truth and falsehood, of good and evil, are worse than indifferent to them.

The origin of all science is in the desire to know causes; and the origin of all false science and imposture is in the desire to accept false causes rather than none; or, which is the same thing, in the unwillingness to acknowledge our own ignorance.

There is … no prejudice so strong as that which arises from a fancied exemption from all prejudice. For this last implies not only the practical conviction that it is right, but the theoretical assumption that it cannot be wrong.
